Adding two miles and losing weight....

This is going to be short... By I am just in a great mood..Eating plan going well. Exercise going great.. I have only walked 4 times 4 miles each time until last night. My 5th walk I decided.. I want to do more.. I just kept walking.. walked 6 miles.. I added two miles... very happy.. then i woke up to losing more weight.. I have hit 13.5lbs since august 4th... just being happy being me right now...

Dont want this to end.....

The past few days I have weighed in less and less.... Losing for 4 days in a row.. I dont want that to end... It helps me and pushes me to go further and futher.. Once again last night I was tired from work but I still got my workout clothes on and headed out the door ..That is two days in a row.. I walked 4 miles.. I feel so good after I do it... I wish that weather would permit me to do it everyday.. Though I cant say that in the past I didnt do it just because of the weather... I just dont know what is going on but I know that I always end up with some excuse to eat bad or not exercise.. but something is different this time and man it is a great feeling like THIS IS THE TIME I will lose this weight.. Adam even said Monday that there is just something different about you this time.. I see the want in you.. :) the greatest feeling in the world to hear that.. more motivation..
I for some reason could not sleep last night.. got to sleep after 12 sometime and was up at 4:30 I did 20 minute turbo jam workout and then walked my 4 dogs... Now I am soooo sleepy and feel kind of Pukey... Not sure if it is because I didnt eat anything... Just was not hungry.. so between not eating and hardly any sleep... Ahhhhh.. I still want to walk but you with the heat and already feeling blah... pukey ... should I walk.. I could do some weights and crunches in my house.. I really want to walk.. I have a while.. I dont walk until a little after 6 (just getting home from work then) so hopefully I feel better by then.. .
I would love to know some of your favorite exercises that you do and what makes you feel good about the weight loss journey you are on.. Let me know..

Random Thoughts.....

First off.. Yesterday was a GREAT DAY... I woke up and hit 10.7lbs lost.. I worked out to Turbo Jam in the morning and had my food all ready for the whole day. I didnt cheat.. didnt want to cheat...and wasnt hungry at all really... I had to force myself to eat 1100 calories.. WHAT..... I could hit 1100 calories in one McDonalds meal (a place I do not eat at anymore :) ) I also came home and was motivated still. I went for a 4 mile walk took me about an hour to do .. While I was doing I called my sister.. she is my biggest inspiration... I have talked about her before, but in case you have not read it in the past ..she is great.. She is fit, healthy and happy. She is running marathons and eating healthy and taking care of her two sons..MY CUTE NEPHEWS... She is 3 years older than I am and 1000% healthier and skinnier than I am.. I want to one day go to her house and say hey, I like that skirt... Can I borrow it? or like when she comes for Christmas I want to go for a jog and be able to keep up with her.. One day I WILL run a marathon with her.. That is my biggest goal aside from losing over 120lbs... I love her and she inspires me more than she will ever know.
Moving on.. Weight today.. 266.2 = 11.3 lbs lost.. I just might make my first mini goal 259.4 by August 31st 6.8lbs to go.. .I also want you guys to know that the contest at my work I am still winning... woohoo.......
One other thing I wanted to mention is how sick and tired I am of infomercials.. and show about weight loss..and some MAGICAL program, potion or whatever ....... I dont know about you, but I am SICK of it.. I know that I did give in and got Turbo Jam but that was because of all the people at sparkpeople.com that have used and talked so good about it... I can not go 10 minutes on T.V. without something mentioned about weight....I know that there are a ton of people over weight but making them feel worthless isnt helping them... Yes some of them give you the inspiration but a lot makes the overweight people feel worse..Like when you go and watch a T.V. show and a girl that is a size 16 is made teased and talked about how fat she is.. and then you have me watching it a six tight 20 and saying man I wish that I was a size 16.. I do not about you.. but I wish that they could only do these infomercials on certain channels...
Well I have to get back to work now.. I will be back tomorrow hopefully able to tell you I had a loss again.

Planning and losing...... :)

So I know that I have said time and time again that I was doing this and doing that... I am going to exercise and eat healthy... I realized that I have not been doing what I said I was going to do.. .I was flipping through the tv trying to find something to watch and somehow I ended up on life time...There was a movie on called Queen Sized and so I watched it, and even though it was not about her losing weight or trying to lose weight it inspired me... I know that it was a movie but it was based off of a true story.... This girl as a big girl and she did not let that stop her... She ran for homecoming queen at her school and she made it.... :) she did it...:):) For some reason this movie put me in a different frame of mine... I stayed up until one planning what I was going to do sunday... cook, prepare, and exercise... I took 4 hours yesterday cooking and cutting and bagging my food for the week. I also figured up what day I was going to have what for the calories/carbs/fats/protein that I am tracking.... so I didnt go over at all... I planned my exercise...it has only been since 4:45 this morning that it all went into effect... but I feel great... and then I weighed in too... 10.7lbs woooohoooo.. I lost 10.7 lbs in 3 weeks and I have not put all my hard work and effort into it like I should... and now I am.. so what will I be losing now.. My first mini goal is 259.4 by august 31st and I am going to be sooooo close... I know that I can do it..........

POURING RAIN..... and eating bad...

I want to know why it is that when there is bad wether and you get all cozy to relax you end up hungry and eating more...??? WHY... I came to work yesterday morning very excited about my new TURBO JAM and started my day off eating healthy.. Then I stopped.. We got sent home yesterday because of the Tropical Storm here and I all of the sudden was BLAH... I was sooo hungry.... I guess part of it was I had more time to eat and I am not used to that... I had a bowl of weight smart oatmeal to start.. good.. then about 9 glasses of water.. Then I got home at lunch. I have a cup of couscous with black beans...then a hour later a turkey sandwhich.. Then 5 hours later I had TWO BLT sandwhiches.. and right before bed I had a cup and a half of fat free no sugar added icecream.. I could not stay full. I was hungry... What is that about... I didnt exercise and I ate like a PIG...... WHY.... can anyone tell me why....So today the rain and wind is worse than yesterday and we are at work again.. I have the hunger pains I was having yesterday... If I go home how can I make sure I dont do it all over again... HELP HELP HELP.... The thing that pisses me off is the fact that I spent all that money on Turbo Jam and I had a chance to finally use it and I fail...I didnt weigh in this morning...

WELCOME to the my Journey to a Better Me!!!!!

Hello My name is Kristin and welcome to my LIFESTYLE CHANGE...
Anyone to new to my site I have moved over from another blog site so I am on Day 12 of the Journey to a New Healthier Me.
I started out at 277 when it was all said and done and today I weighed in at 268.4.. ALOMOST 10 lbs.. I have created these blogs to put myself out there and hold myself accountable. How can I fail when I put myself out there, I would now not only be letting myself down but many other people. I vowed to be 100% open and honest out my weightloss/lifestyle change progress.
So if you are new. To kinda catch up with the others I want to do a small recap of what I have done and lets just say it hasnt been much. I have let things get it the way which is why I am having this blog. I will also post my old blogs from there over to here so you can read everything if you choose. Like I said I started out at 277 and for the last 12 days I started a workout schedule for the whole month which lasted ONE DAY.. really.. one day in total.. That whole week I was very dizzy and had a swollen knee. So in discovering myself and trying to change my life I realized that having the whole month planned out, I was setting myself up for failure. I need this to work this time. So I decided to try a new approach. I have been eathing alot healthier and working in some working out. My knee is about back to 100% so I am excited to move forward with this. I am not going to give excuses I am going to do it. I know my body and I need to be honest with you. A lot of my pains well ... BEING OVERWEIGHT it is going to happen that way.. your going to have aches and pains... YOUR KNEES and everything else are NOT meant to have all that weight depending on it.... You know what I mean... so as of today.. 12 days in I have lost 8.6 lbs... I am happy with that.. But could you imagine if I was in full force.
One other thing I do want to mention is that I will be going to the doctor to talk about my eating habits on my food.
PLEASE ANYONE THAT DOES READ THIS ... IF YOU HAVE ANY TIPS, SUGGESTIONS,MOTIVATION OR QUOTES... please send them my way...
